Abstract: A gaming machine includes an input device and a processor coupled to the input device. The input device is configured to receive a game play event from a player. The processor is programmed to determine whether a jackpot trigger condition is satisfied based at least in part on the game play event. The jackpot trigger condition includes a target quantity of games played, a target set of game tokens, a target pattern of game symbols, and/or a target pattern of game play outcomes. The processor is further programmed to award a jackpot credit to one or more players when the jackpot trigger condition is satisfied.

Abstract: A system that includes a first input/output (I/O) device configured to generate a code based at least in part on a unique machine identifier of the first I/O device, and a second I/O device communicatively coupled to the first I/O device via a network. The second I/O device is configured to read the code from a tangible medium, parse the code to determine the machine identifier, transmit a validation request directly to the first I/O device via the network, and receive a response message directly from the first I/O device, wherein the response message indicates a number of credits available to a user at the second I/O device.

Abstract: A casino game, machine, system, and method for playing and awarding a payout as a function of an outcome of the game are provided. The casino game may be played using one or more computer based gaming machines. The casino game may be played over a network, online and/or using one or more mobile devices. The casino game may be played using a stand-alone gaming machine.

Abstract: A gaming machine includes a display device and a processor. The processor is programmed to cause the display device to display a first game in a first frame, detect a trigger condition during play of the first game in the first frame, based on the detected trigger condition, display a second game in a second frame on the display device, allocate a number of available credits from the first game to the second game, and enable play of the second game with the allocated number of credits.

Abstract: A gaming machine includes a display device and a processor. The processor is programmed to cause the display device to display a first game using a first frame, detect a first trigger condition during play of the first game in the first frame, based on the first trigger condition, display a second game in a second frame on the display device, and enable simultaneous play of the first game in the first frame and the second game in the second frame.
